Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
Our Growth of the Game initiatives were our Ladies Classes, Junior Classes, Girls Golf Club and PGA HOPE classes. Our Ladies Classes (Golf 101 and Next Step Classes) are run spring and fall with five classes a week for six weeks. We had a total of 85 ladies participate. Our Junior Classes are ages 3 years old to 12 years old. We run our junior classes in three semesters (spring, summer and fall). Our Early Birdies Classes (3- to 4-year-old) were held three times a week for a total of 96 children. Our PeeWee Classes (5 t0 6-year-olds) were held four times a week for a total of 120. Our Learn to Play Classes ( 7 to 9 year old) were held twice a week for a total of 72. Our Play to Score Classes (8- to 11-year-old) were held five times a week for a total of 85 juniors. Our Train to Learn 11- to 13-year-old) were held twice a week for a total of 24 juniors. We held five weeks of regular Golf Camps and one week of Golf Camp Academy in the summer. Our Golf Camp total was 190 juniors. We hold the Camps from Tuesday to Sunday with themes each week. Our Junior Golf Program plays on Sundays and Mondays. We had 265 juniors participate and play on course. We have six divisions based on driver distance and score (3 Hole, 5 Hole Beginner, 5 Hole Advanced, 9 Hole Beginner, 9 Hole Advanced and 18 Hole). We had 6 playdays and 3 tournaments.

Our Girls Golf Club is one of the most exciting and fun events for our girls. We have a total of 25 girls that come monthly for an hour of golf and an hour of art projects. With this class, our classes have donated to the Children’s Hospital Gift Closet, local Senior Citizens and shelter with our art projects. Through our Girls Golf Club, we have had girls participate in our other junior golf programs.

Our PGA HOPE Class was held in the fall with six sessions and 20 veterans. The first four classes were instruction. The fifth and six sessions were on course playing with a professional.

We hosted the National Golf and Wellness PGA HOPE Weekend with 20 PGA HOPE Ambassadors. We taught on Saturday morning (full swing, short game and putting) and Sunday (full swing video analysis, chipping, sand, putting contest, closest to the hole contest on the Simulator).

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
One of my classes that have kept our Ladies engaged improving is our Short Game Classes. It is a four-week class in the spring, summer and fall. We have four weeks of wedges, chipping, pitch and run, putting and more. The total of these classes are 60 ladies.
